OF very largo crowd. Indeed tie attend
ance was so large that the building could
not hold more than two-thircls of the visitors
many of whom could not gain admittance.
The rush was so great that Superintendent
Slaton deemed it best TO close the doors so
as TO prevent the room from being too
densely packed.
Mr.. Byrdina Swami, of Town Creek, Gil
| mer county has gold mine which promises
no little fortune. His daughter was walk
ing over the crest of a hillside where an old
| fence once stood, and, seeing something
bright, picked up small rock which she
broke off the main lead, and the bright sub
stance proved to be nugget of gold weigh
ing two and half pennyweightS. The In
dams are credited with making statements
concerning gold deposits in that immediate
section, and this place certainly has gold de-
| posted there, and in n vein, too. The rock
formation shows gold affinity
Last Saturday the attorneys for the
caveators in the Dickson will case notified
the executors of the will not to pay out any
money or distribute any of the legacies of
the estate. This notice stated that those
attorneys represented some of the-heirs-at
law of Dickson who were not bound by the
late probate of the will, since they had
never been notified of the same, and also
that the motion to make the late Judgment
of the Supreme Court in that case the
Judgment of the Superior Court of Han
cock county, would be resisted on the
ground that the Judgment which the Su-
preme Court rendered was not legally the
Judgment of that court.
Last Monday a considerable crowd of
Charlottesville gentlemen went out on
Little river seining. They were hay
ing nice time until they reached deep wa
ter. MesSrs. j. w. Tucker and e. G. Go
lucke were both pulling one staff of the
seine, when suddenly they dropped into
water considerably over their heads They
both began to sink Ed Golucke sank only
once and gained strength enough to come
out, but VIII Tucker went under the third
time and the crowd gave him up as gone,
but finally he came to the surface of the
water and made his escape. 1t is the only
time any person was ever known to sink
three times and then get out without help.
On Friday afternoon the lower part of
Dawson received the attention of the light
ming in striking tree situated near the old
wooden drug store. On the opposite side
was brick building occupied above by DR..
G. A. Cheatham as laboratory The doc
tor at that time was reclining upon couch
in his office near the door and almost in a
line with the tree that was struck, but was
uninjured, excepting a slight shock from the
electricity. Pieces of the bark of the tree
were thrown by the force of the lightning
over the doctor. Mr.. Stokes, who occupies

was in front of his building at the time, was
considerably shocked, and for while was to
certain extent paralyzed in one of his arms.

Some of the society young men Of Ameri-
Gus when out calling upon their young lady
friends are sometimes prone to linger later
than they probably should thus keeping the
fair ones up later than is good for their
health. A stern parent at whose home
pair of sweet dudes called a night or two
since, decided to break up the business if
there was efficacy whatever in a gentle
hint, so a considerable time after
midnight and the enamored youths
still fingered, he quietly entered the parlor
with a tray literally loaded with a sub
stantial breakfast and invited the pair to
partake thereof They Caught on" at once
and replying that their good landlady
would doubtless expect them to breakfast at
home, beat an instant retreat. They of
course feel a little sore over the affair, while
the old gent has figured that what he may
probably lose in son-in-law he will more
than save in the cost of kerosene and
doctors bills.
Last week dog belonging in Thomas
vile showed signs of rabidneSs and he was
Immediately taken up. Hewas vicious, and
tried to bite everything with which he came
in contact, Marshal SPAR was sent for, and
by strategic means he fastened the dog and
carried him to the city pound. 1t so hap
pened that the city had several dogs which
were to be killed that day, and, as an ex-
pertinent, three of them were placed in the
same room with the mad dog, to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly. This was
done at the suggestion Of DR.. I. NJ.
Mcintosh. As soon as the mad dog
could get to the other dogs he rushed upon
them and severely bit all three of them.
The mad dog was then tied and after several
spasmodic attacks died in few hours. In
the afternoon DR.. Mcintosh cut up the dead
dog and after dissectng the parts he dis
covered nothing except slight inflamma-
ton of the liver The other dogs still re-
main in the pound, and will be kept for
such a length of time as the doctor directs.
to see what effect will be had upon them.
Much interest is felt in the matter, and we
trust a satisfactory conclusion will be
reached. If any discovery can be made,
DIR. Mcintosh is the man to do it.
